Reborn in the 80s, starting with hunting in the mountains

"You and me, my little sister, I guess you need a whole bowl, and the rest of you need to taste some. Well, after a while, I think four or five plates will be enough." Lin Yi analyzed.

Yingzi chuckled.

That's what extended families are like.

Do not suffer from widowhood but suffer from inequity.

When the rain and dew touch it, the amount will increase.

But these days, we use big pots for cooking, so just cook it in one pot and stir-fry it.

"How about frying it with wild duck eggs?" Ji Yi searched around the kitchen and found that there were only three eggs.

This is definitely not enough to fry four or five plates of egg fried rice.

Egg fried rice, egg fried rice, if there are less eggs, the fried taste will not be good.

Fortunately, I just brought a lot of wild duck eggs from Yingzi's house, so I can use them at this time.

Yingzi thinks this idea is good.

Wild duck eggs are also eggs, so there is no problem in using eggs in fried rice.

Ji Yi counted 6 wild duck eggs.

Knock it into a bowl and stir it up with chopsticks.

In the 80s, large families in the Northeast basically washed rice and cooked in the morning.

Many people may wonder why Northeastern people also eat rice, isn’t it said that rice from the south is from the north?

In fact, this is not the case. There are exceptions, and that is in the Northeast, where rice is definitely the staple food.

In the four northern provinces of Shanhe, pasta is the main food in these places.

In the Northeast, most people actually eat rice.

But Northeastern people also like all kinds of pasta, and their diet is relatively diversified.

In addition to rice, steamed buns, dumplings, noodles, etc. are also often eaten.

This is actually inseparable from the climate conditions in the Northeast.

Wheat does not grow in the Northeast. The winter in the Northeast is too cold and too long, which is not conducive for wheat to survive the winter.

The main products of the Northeast are rice, soybeans (folks in the Northeast call them soybeans, and soybeans in the Northeast are another type of bean, commonly known as rice beans), and corn.

The land in the Northeast is fertile and rich in rice, and only one crop of rice is produced every year.

Due to climate, water and soil conditions, Northeastern rice is particularly delicious, such as Wuchang rice and Panjin rice, both of which are very famous across the country.

Northeastern rice has full grains and a hard texture. The cooked rice is rich in flavor and shiny.

Even if there are no vegetables, you can still eat two bowls. White rice is also a staple food that many Northeastern people often eat.

And Northeastern rice is also very suitable for egg fried rice.

Once you eat it once, you will fall in love with it.

"Brother Yi, they say that egg fried rice should be made with leftover rice. Only egg fried rice made from leftover rice has a soul. Is that true?" Yingzi asked curiously.

Well, this is indeed the saying.

The reason why we use leftover rice to make fried rice with scrambled eggs is because overnight rice has less water and the rice grains are hard and easy to fall apart when fried.

After the rice has been left overnight, the rice grains will swell and plump after absorbing the moisture, becoming soft on the inside and hard on the outside. The fried egg fried rice will look more beautiful.

Moreover, the starch content of overnight rice will undergo certain changes, and trace amounts of starch sugars and polysaccharides will be initially fermented.

After the fried rice is hot, add it with oil, eggs, salt and chopped green onion.

These initially melted sugars will produce a wonderfully fragrant and sweet taste. Compared with freshly steamed rice, it is easier to be covered with oil and egg droplets, making people feel extra delicious, with a very Q taste and a sweet aftertaste.

But it is not absolute.

For example, the uncooked rice they wash and cook in the morning is also very suitable for making egg fried rice.

The so-called rice washing and cooking means that the rice is cooked until it is about seven or eight years old, and then fished out. The remaining rice is just enough to make porridge.

The cooked rice is steamed and eaten at noon.

There were no rice cookers in this era.Besides, with so many people at home eating, we can’t cook it with a rice cooker.

Rice cookers are only suitable for small families, where three or five people eat.

These days, Lin Yi's brothers and their family, plus Yingzi and Han Erye, have more than ten people eating every day.

Only by washing rice and cooking can I be able to cope with it.

Ji Yi quickly found some unsteamed rice at noon, which was perfect for stir-fried eggs and fried rice.

"You can pour the oil." Lin Yi said to Yingzi.

Yingzi picked up the oil pot and poured about a spoonful of oil into the pot.

Then I plan to put it away.

Ji Yi saw that there was so much oil in the pot, could this be fried rice? ? ?

You must know that this is four or five portions of egg fried rice. It only takes one spoon of oil to fry one portion, and Ji Yi feels that it is missing.

"Yingzi, with this little oil, fried rice with eggs will definitely not work." Lin Yi took the oil pot from Yingzi's hand and started pouring it.

Pour another 4-5 tablespoons of oil.

Yingzi's body ached when she saw it.

There is so much oil, just fry an egg and fry the rice?
In her opinion, it was too luxurious.

In fact, it's not her fault, it's just the way it is in this era.

Most families, even Ji's mother, use very little oil when cooking.

How little is it? The most economical housewife can just take an oil brush, dip it in some oil, brush it into the pot, let the pot dip into the oil, and start cooking.

If there are some oily flowers floating in the dish, it is unprecedented.

It’s not that they don’t know that cooking with more oil will taste better, but it’s just that we are too poor in this era.

However, these days, Li Xiuhe is more willing to cook.

Because she knew that her youngest son had to eat some meat when he went to the mountains to hunt, so that he would have the strength to go into the mountains.

In addition, the family now has money.

It doesn’t mean that even eating some oil has to be calculated.

"This is about the same amount of fuel, Yingzi. You don't have to save fuel for me in the future, so you can make more money by eating it." Lin Yi smiled at Yingzi.

When Yingzi saw Ji Yi's smile, she also smiled.

These oils, she was heartbroken, but she didn't say much.

After the oil was hot, Yingzi poured the egg liquid that Ji Yi had just stirred into the pot and started to fry the eggs.

Wait for the eggs to solidify, pour the rice into the pot, and stir-fry with a spatula while pressing the rice. The cold rice will stick together, so you need to stir-fry the rice to spread it, so that it will be more delicious.

"Wow. It smells so good. My sister-in-law's fried egg fried rice is the most fragrant." Lin Rourou must have finished the rice in the bowl, and then went to the kitchen to serve the rice, but she couldn't walk after smelling the fragrance.

"Little sister, you have a dog nose." Lin Yi couldn't laugh or cry.

Lin Rourou shook her head quickly: "Brother, it's not that I have a good nose, but the egg fried rice is so fragrant. Even in the yard, I can smell the aroma of egg fried rice coming from the kitchen."

Hearing what Lin Rourou said, Yingzi also thought it was quite delicious.

She was in the kitchen, and she was the closest to the egg fried rice, and she felt the most profoundly about the aroma of the egg fried rice.

She was already hungry from the porridge she drank in the morning, and her stomach was honestly growling.

Fortunately, the sound of fried rice covered up her embarrassment, otherwise she would have covered her face with her hands and been embarrassed to see others.

While stir-frying over high heat, Yingzi added some MSG, salt and other seasonings to the pot.

Also put some minced meat in it.

It’s delicious when there’s a lot of ingredients.

Ji Yi was greedy when he saw the fried rice in the pot.

Taking into account not to eat food that is too irritating, Yingzi also added some water when it was almost cooked, so that it would not cause irritation. (End of chapter)
